I'm just glad the game is over....

You know something? I was just glad that the damn game was over. That's all I can really say. I mean it sucks that the Red Sox lost, but dude, there's a certain point in a game like this when you're like "OKAY SOMEBODY SCORE A FUCKING RUN NOW BEFORE I GO INSANE!!!" and usually that advantage goes to the home team. Both the Tigers offense and the

Ha! You nailed it exactly. "FUCK IT THIS GAME HAS BEEN GOING FOR SEVENTEEN HOURS SOMEONE JUST WIN ALREADY."

Extra inning losses are so much easier to digest the closer they are to the All Star Break, it seems. Oh and big leads help too as do cases in which your two closest rivals both lose. Definitely. Actually hell, the Tigers kinda needed this more. So consider it a gift *hands fruit basket*

Yeah somewhere in the 11th inning in regular season games people are usually like SOMEONE JUST FUCKING END IT!

In 1994, Canada and Sweden were in the Olympic gold-medal round in hockey. This game was in Lillehamer, and it started at 5 or 6 am PST on a Sunday Morning. I was watching the game with bjornh, who was in Sweden. We'd made a deal that the winner would call the loser after the game.

Okay so that game went on forever, and it felt even longer because I had to get up before the sun to watch it. This was the game that turned into a shoot-out, and even that went on for a sick length of time, finally ended by Peter Forsberg (who ended up on a stamp in Sweden for it). It was one of those games you wish could just end in a tie, because the teams were so evenly matched.

After Forsberg scored, my phone rang. "I'm sorry," Björn said.
"Are you kidding?" I said. "I'm just glad someone finally won!" And then I went back to bed.

So, yeah...

Yeah. I mean if it was under more dire circumstances with the Red Sox, I'd be a lot worse off. But alas it is not.
